SMOKERS POUCH.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept. 30, 1919.

Application led January 28, 1919. Serial No. 273,626.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that'I, F REDERIGK GOERTZ, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Newark, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and Improved Smokers Pouch, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention has for its object to provide a smokers pouch having a body which is normally closed by a head slidably disposed in an open end of the body, there being means to prevent the complete removal oi' the head under normal conditions, although permitting the withdrawal of the head a sulicient distance to enable the user to obtain a cigarette paper and matches from compartments in the head, land also to expose an opening in the body through which tobacco may befed.

Additional objects of the invention will appear in the following specification in which the preferred form ot my invention vis described.

In the drawings similar referencecharacters refer to similar parts in all the views, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective View illustrating my invention, parts being broken away to show the construction;

Fig. 2 is a side elevatio-n, partially in section, showing 'the head removed fromthe body;

Fig. 8 is an enlarged sectional view on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2; and

Fig. 4 is an enlarged sectional view on the line 4 4 of Fig. 2.

By referring to the drawings, it will be seen that the smokers pouch is provided with a body 5, having an open end 6, in which there is disposed a metal neck 7. The body 5 is preferably of such a shape that it may be conveniently disposed in a rear pocket.

In the body 5, and extending through the metal neck 7, there is an outlet 8; the said outlet being disposed adjacent the open end 6 of the body, as best illustrated in Fig. 2 of the drawings. A head 9 is normally disposed in the metal neck 7, which serves to close the outlet 8.

In the head 9, there are mounted pins 10 which extend through orifices 11 in the head, and which are adapted to be disposed in oriices 12, which are situated nearer the open end 6 of the body 5 than is the outlet 8.

These pinslOare held yieldingly outwardly by springs 18, so that `when the user draws the head 9 outwardly relatively to the body 5, ythe pinslO will be pressed outwardly by the springsl into the orifices 12 to lock the head 9 relatively to the body 5 in the position shown in Fig. 1 of the drawings. In this position the head 9 has uncovered the outlet 8, so that the tobacco in the body 5 may be fed through the outlet 8. When the user de sires to lill the body 5 with tobacco, he presses inwardly the thumb pieces 14, which extend through openings 15 in the head 9, and which are connected withthe pins 10, so that by this means the pins 10 may be drawn inwardly out of the orifices 12 to permit the convenient removal of the head 9 from the body 5. The tobacco may be then poured into the body 5, after which the head 9 may be lreplaced in position by pressing inwardly the thumb pieces `14, which will permit the pins 10,*to pass the orifices 12. Y

In one side of the head 9, there is a. compartment 16 in which cigarette papers may be disposed, this compartment 16 being partially inclosed by a` wall 17 which lserves to hold the cigarette papers in position. At the other side of the head 9, there is a compartment 18 in which matches may be disposed,

this compartment 18 being normallyv closed by a lid 19 which is provided with a spring hinge 20 which serves to hold the lid l19 nor mallyclosed, as shown inthe full lines in Fig. 4 of the drawings. In this lid 19, there Ais a recess 2K1 in whichmay be disposed va piece of material against which the matches may be struck.

It will be understood that the smokers pouch will not only contain the tobacco, cigarette Ipapers and matches, but thesewill be carried in such form that they may be removed as may be desiredwithout unnecessarily exposing the contents of the pouch, and this is so, although the pouch may be completely opened whenever necessary, so that it may be conveniently refilled.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent:

1. In a smokers pouch, a body having an open end, and with an outlet in its side adjacent the open end, a head telescoping with the open end of the body for closing the outlet, and adjustable means to check the outward movement of the head relatively to .the any 'whiie'a'endfofthe head is disposed in thebody.

head slidably disposed in the open end of the body, there being orifices inthe body beyond the outlet, pins mounted adjacent tlie'inn'er end of the head for movement into theorifices, resilient means for holding the ins ieldinol 7 extended in o erativ-e )osi- P Y e P tion, and thumb pieces connected With thel pins Vfor pressing them into operative posi- (tion, the thumb pieces being disposed be- Y tween the pins and the other end of the'head,

so that'they will be. 'exposed when the pins are disposed in the orifices.
